D. Hocking

I think he actually got the information from his good friend Pavarotti who he was face timing last week.

He likes the tough bullying type who aren't afraid to get a little blood on their hands. Does he have no awareness of Jackson's legacy and how he has been viewed in modern times? "People don't realize, you know, the Civil War, if you think about it, why," the president said. "People don't ask that question, but why was there the Civil War?" "Why could that one not have been worked out?" he continued. Trump made the comments after going on a lengthy riff about President Andrew Jackson, a past president Trump believes was similar to himself in his populist views and bombastic campaigning. "I mean, had Andrew Jackson been a little later, you wouldn't have had the Civil War," Trump said of the slave-owning president. "He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart. He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War. He said 'there's no reason for this.” Jackson, who was president from 1829 to 1837, died in 1845, 16 years before the outbreak of the Civil War.

I think that is actually from Damn Yankees.

Bummer about the game I could have posted all Night...

It feels nice to be able to beat the Royals again. Like that is the natural order of things.

Except doesn't this comment endanger all of that?

The mine used to give old inner tubes from the big trucks to be used as trampolines. If you look closely there is a sharp metal air nozzle that you would have pointed down at the start. Unfortunately, the tube would sometimes flip as you were flying through the air giving you potential to land on the sharp metal point. Impaling yourself on the nozzle combined with bouncing on a curved surface and either flying off or twisting your ankle and falling in the middle (toward the nozzle), the injury rate was fairly high (I broke my arm). Even in the less careful 70's, someone decided this was probably not a good idea, and the era of big inner tube fun came to an end.

College (Alcohol) and Jarts has potential for some interesting outcomes.

They seemed much less worried about emotional (or physical) injury back then. http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4731/3161/1600/901114/jarts.jpg' http://www.antiques.com/vendor_item_images/ori__439773837_1121571_Wood_Burning_Kit_B4988.jpg

Chief saw the opening performance, so he would know.

I remember the episode when King Friday beheaded Meow Meow Kitty because he was caught eating steak with ketchup on it. I think they took that episode out of the repeat rotation due to criticism it was too violent for pre-schoolers.

I guess Trump likes ketchup on his (well done) steak, so depending on your political views, you might consider that a plus or a minus for condiments on steak. http://cloudfront.sportsgrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/trumpsteak.jpg

At least Ivanka is making us proud in Germany.....

That is usually the sign of a great story teller. Not sure what it means in this case.

That is what is called Twins baseball.

It helped that this was prior to wild card and divisional series, so they only had two win two play-off series and not three. It would have been a lot more difficult for them to win three series.

I think Sano might be more comfortable at 3B than right field. In retrospect, that might not have been a good idea as well executed of a plan as it was.

Well you are kind of the game thread artist. I am not surprised, your work often has a subtle crack influence. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--WxyANpWy--/18n7d8oozd1nzjpg.jpg

I was wondering if there was a Wild ban because people wanted to watch the game later. I was going to post some thing, and then thought it might not be wanted.

I don't have access to the game on TV today - is this a picture of Sano when he was mad? Because that does show a trace of attitude. [it is really really nice out. Would not be a bad day to be at the game in person.]

If you wait 25 years,I am pretty sure you will be able to find it at the Smithsonian right next to some of Roosevelt's fireside chats, a Harry Carey recording, and Orson Wells War of the Worlds.

Morneau. Mauer was actually a pretty decent basketball player.

If I find out Vanimal of Whine Line is not the great former Twins pitcher - I am not sure I am going to be able to deal with it. Sometimes you just need someone to believe in.

I predict this scenario is going to actually happen in game 7 of the world series this fall. It will be the third most exciting play of the game.

Hopefully you are drinking athletically.
